After marrying Zhang Chi, Lin Xinyue took on all the household chores and quietly devoted herself to the family, only to endure her husband's selfishness and the exploitation by her mother-in-law, Liu Huifang. Zhang Chi handed over most of his salary to his mother and catered to his younger brother Zhang Yang's every whim, while completely ignoring Xinyue's own needs.
When Xinyue's father suffered a sudden heart attack and desperately needed money for surgery, Zhang Chi and his mother not only refused to help financially but also made the situation as difficult for her as possible. Utterly disheartened, Xinyue resolved to leave. Seizing the opportunity of a business trip to make her escape, she revived her design career and partnered with her best friend, Meng Qian, to open their own studio.
Thanks to her exceptional design talent, Xinyue won the gold award in an international competition, and her career took off. Armed with evidence including property deeds, income statements, and loan records, she filed for divorce, demanding that Zhang Chi and his mother be forced from the marital home without a cent. His family attempted to play dirty, but they were soundly defeated by the ironclad evidence and ultimately reaped what they sowed. Freed from the shackles of her past, Lin Xinyue began a brand new chapter in her life.
